Kaishi Karate school has been in existence in Edgware since 2011, and we now have classes for children on Mondays at 4.10pm and for adults on Thursday at 8.30pm and Mondays at 8pm.
Sheena Amin 3rd Dan (WSK)has been taught and trained under top Western and Japanese master’s when they have visited England as well as when she has travelled to Japan. Her aim is to encourage your child or you as an adult to enjoy the classes and help develop your karate skills, as well as help you or your child benefit from increased confidence, discipline, concentration, and coordination.
Classes are designed to introduce children to the discipline of karate in a friendly and fun way. Children will start in the junior class where they will be encouraged and helped to achieve the syllabus as well as the martial art disciplines of respect and good manners. Grading tests take place at the end of each main term, where the children or you as an adult in training, may be promoted to the next level. Anyone who wishes to grade must be registered members of the school.
What happens during class? A normal class consists of going through a set of warm up, strengthening and stretching exercises, before learning and practising the techniques required for grading tests. This means learning the punching, blocking, kicking techniques of the Gojuryu karate system as well as patterns or kata and learning to spar in a controlled way. In addition, games to develop concentration, coordination, teamwork, and confidence may be played, or stories on martial art philosophy told. Children can also work towards earning various badges.
Why should you encourage your child to learn karate? Karate schools throughout the world are noted for teaching children things that are not normally taught in regular school time. Things like manners, respect, keeping your word, how to avoid conflict. Of course, we teach children how to fight to defend themselves, but the emphasis is on avoiding getting into such situations in the first place. Confidence comes from knowing that you can take care of yourself.
